I'm just wondering if it's very good for the cpu to be doing a sudden jump to 2.4ghz from 2.0ghz all the time when I loads into windows. Default for the cpu is 2.0ghz (AMD Athlon 64 3200+).

Also, for the cpu voltage, at what point normally would the voltage increase start becoming dangerous? Its set at 1.4v although CPUZ is reporting 1.3xx volts. Max I took it was 1.5v when trying for 2.4ghz... but the temp was going above 50C and it was unstable.. so i was hoping it's a temp issue. Didn't want to go above 1.5v

Thanks in advance.
Well, since your going to overclock at any speed, it's a good ideal to have good cooling anyway, so getting a better cooling system isn't a bad Ideal.
